New Windows Media Center form factors featured on Engadget:

Today I spent two hours attending a usability study. The lab was cool with lots of monitors and the one way mirror. It was fascinating to watch someone trying to use our product. I actually learned about a few features that the participant discovered in only two hours that I hadn't yet discovered in four weeks. I also watched them experience, first hand, some of the problems with our product.

If you're in Seattle and want some free software (worth up to $500 depending on what you pick) and want to try unreleased beta software the public hasn't seen just sign up at the usability site.

Photos of my apartment (the album is not in order).

Okay, when you walk in the door and take a few steps in this is the living room. On your right is a small hallway that leads to my room. Me in the closet from that last photo looking at the big mirror. Here is my only piece of furniture in my room. This is the view out of one of my windows.

Okay, now go back to that first photo. Turn to the left is the bathroom.

Okay, now go back to that first photo. Walk into the living room. On the right is the dining room. Walk into the dining room and on the right is the kitchen (I hate white kitchens).

Okay so the view out of the kitchen. Left window. Middle window. Right window.

This is a photo in the living room looking back at the front door. And this is the front door.

I left Capitol Hill at 9:05 today and arrived at work thirty minutes later. I later left work at 6:45 (Ben and I had dinner first) and arrived on Capitol Hill thirty minutes later.

Note that I live three blocks from the freeway entrance and my building (50) is the first one off the freeway.

While thirty minutes isn't a long drive, I certainly don't enjoy sitting in my car doing nothing. So I'm resolved to either take the bus (we get a free bus pass) or get the two other kids who live on my street to car pool. That way we can save the environment and I can read the news.
